Witness History

Available for over a year

In March 1970, three white middle-class revolutionaries from the Weatherman movement accidentally killed themselves at their New York safehouse. They died when the pipe bombs they were planning to use at a military base accidentally went off in the basement. Witness speaks to Cathy Wilkerson, one of the survivors of the blast.
